Definitely. Each time they release a new Mario Kart game, I keep hoping they will bring back mission mode from the DS version. Or add something like a Career mode ala Sonic Racing Transformed. Just something other than racing. Racing is fun and everything, but eventually, you just want to do something else (or my friends and I do). In the past, we could move over to battle mode after we got our fill of racing, but we can't even really do that in Mario Kart 8 because battle mode sucks without arenas. Now, we just switch to another game. I think my friends and I always spent more time in battle mode in the previous Mario Kart games anyways (at least 64 and Double Dash).
Oops, I know this thread isn't about Mario Kart, lol. I just look at all the content in Smash Bros and think "wow, why can't other Nintendo games have stuff like this!" and MK came straight to mind since I was disappointed with the lack of content/modes in that game.
Toss in Lucas and Wolf and that'd be sweeeeeeeeeet
You forgot Ridley silly.
Gotcha, like I said, I don't know much about HW. Thanks for the knowledge!
Still impressed by Smash though!

Yeah man. Don't forget the Space Dragon.
Spainkiller's source saying Ridley as a moving model is likely due to the 3DS version having Pyrosphere w/ Ridley at one point, but the system couldn't handle it. As a result, Ridley was likely cut from the 3DS version of the game for the same reason Metal Face wasn't on Gaur Plains on the 3DS version.
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking, if it's true. Really no way to say either way, though.
Spainkillers source? Where is this at? If he's not in it at least bring back Snake or Ice Climbers.

That was the main reason I suffered through the 3DS version, I wanted all the equipment and custom moves available so my friends could setup their characters/miis and we just go from there. Technically they still can it's just more awkward than it should be.

When we get the game, can someone make a picture of Rayman looking up into Fiora's ass? Cmon, Rayman's pose is begging for it.
Then explain the traditional design of Ridley on the ko page. There's something up with that and I know they are cooking up something in the DLC.

I'm still kind of shocked we heard about DLC this early. Usually big "expansion" style packs like New Super Luigi U or Mario Kart 8's DLC isn't heard of until a couple of months after the game's release. Granted for the time being it is just one character, but I wouldn't be surprised to see more show up now that the door's been opened. Hope we see some good support... and a balance patch. 
Ugh, XY music.

Yeah it is pretty terrible.
The stuff of which dreams are made
I'm so, so glad they included all the characters announcements CG cutscenes in the game.
It'll be such a pleasure to watch them over and over again.
It's also cool that amongst all the Nintendo characters in this video, there's Mega Man, because he's Mega Man and he actually means something to Nintendo. He fits quite well with the group, too.
Take notes, Capcom.
As long as Sakurai can't find a work-around for the Ice Climbers on the 3DS, they won't return for this iteration of Smash. Sakurai's hell-bent on maintaining the same roster on both versions.
Basically, someone told Spainkiller that he saw moving models for Ridley, Mewtwo, the Chorus Kids, & Dixie Kong. We have our Ridley boss, & we now have our playable Mewtwo. The Chorus Kids & Dixie Kong remain.

So excited to play the Great Cave Offensive level, holy FUCK. Kirby Super Star was my favorite game as a kid, I'm so happy there's gonna be another level inspired by it in! It's a huge level too, so excited. I'm so excited to hear the remixes from the game, holy guacamole
Oh my god... could you imagine a "Nintendo RPG" kind of in the same vein as Super Mario RPG? Franchise characters all come together to fight the Koopa Kids!
Make it so Nintendo!

Looks like iggy is throwing gang signs or something.
To be fair they changed the XY trainer theme from okay to fantastic, maybe they can do the same with the Team Flare theme.
I just hope they have a gen 5 stage on Wii U to put it on. And so we can have that glorious N's Castle and Reshiram/Zekrom music.

Great Cave Offensive almost looks too big even for 8 players.
Wii U does what XBONEdon't.
Yes I know the Xbone has a few 1080p60 games already but don't spoil the fun by bringing them up.

WiiU can do alot, and they could do alot in brawl already.
YES!

Because those are all arbitrary numbers that can be achieved by any system if you know how to allocate your resources and take advantage of the hardware that is given to you. They can make all PS4/XBone games 1080p/60fps if they built games around achieving those numbers. Unfortunately its usually pack as much stuff in as you can then worry about the resolution and frame rate afterwords.

That puzzles me a bit as well. That certainly looks like an icon ripped from Brawl's art work but there was no Ridley head like that in the whole game as far as I remember. Certainly not during the actual boss fight it's self. It was more of a portrait, not a character stock icon.
Even when I think I'm pretty much done with Ridley speculation and just resign myself to fate something else gets brought up, hahaha.

Does anyone know what song Michiru Yamane is arranging for the Wii U soundtrack?
The only one I'm aware of is the Toys R Us deal where you get a free Amiibo (of your choice) if you pre-order the game.
Honestly, at this point I'd rather they just sell the IP to Nintendo. With Smash Bros. alone they're doing far more service to Mega Man, Sonic, and Pac-Man than their respective owners have done in years.

Nintendo has unlocked the code.
Don't worry man, I got that reference.

Best reference in the whole thing
Yup
No way, José.

So that stage editor... Who loves that we can actually draw the terrain now? How does that not 100% justify the touch screen for this game?!
